| Ok, if you perfer Abandoned or little known, then that will work too. I shouldn't have mixed paranormal in there with it. Found another just north of Tee calling it Purdyville and another called Buckner.
North of Cimarron, Ravanna was just just north of Kalvesta.
Have you ever heard of Eminence? It surprises me that Ravanna and Eminence were both up for County seat but Kalvesta is the only town to survive.
>>>The communities of Ravanna and Eminence were bitter rivals for the position of county seat. Bat Masterson and twenty deputies from Dodge City were hired to keep the peace during the first election in 1887, in which Ravanna won the honor by thirty-five votes. However, the citizens of Eminence brough suit, alleging the ballot-box had been stuffed. The Kansas Supreme Court agreed, and in 1889 the seat was transferred to Eminence.
In 1892, the Kansas Supreme Court decided Garfield County was illegally organized, having less than the 432 square miles required by the state constitution; it was annexed to Finney County the following year.>>kansashistorymuseum>>>
Ravanna would have been in Gray County (formerly Buffalo County). Eminence would have been in Finney County due north of Ingalls.
Is there anything left of these once thriving towns of our wild west? One of those towns is now a Irsik/Doll Feedyard and home to thousands of cattle. Not sure which. |
